"Trade Negotiation A Two-Way Thing": Amul Chief Allays Farmers' Concerns

India Condemns Islamabad Mosque Blast, Slams Pak For "Blaming Others"

India said it rejected "any and every" allegation of involvement in a bombing at a mosque in Islamabad on Friday, which killed at least 31 people, saying such claims were baseless and pointless.
